The events of 2020 have tremendously affected the lives of everyone in the United States, and more so that of noncitizen residents. To address pertinent bio-political issues related to the pandemic and to reflect on the prolonged period of time under the lockdown, Mana Contemporary presents “Is It A Good Time?,” an online screening featuring 33 artists from all over the world residing in the United States. To accommodate viewers from the artists’ home bases and a broader global audience, the screening takes the form of an Internet TV and will be streamed nonstop and on repeat for 72 hours.
“Is It A Good Time? is organized by Define American artist fellow Maryam Faridani and Chicago-based curator Nicky Ni. Special thanks to Orr Menirom and Angeliki Tsoli who gave their time to guest juror the artist submissions. A full curatorial statement can be found here.
*We are working on a variety of ways to support the organizers and participating artists who have self-funded this project. If you are able to help in that support, please consider contributing directly through Venmo: @IsItAGoodTime.
